I noticed this in the past.
It's so settle but effective.

so many NBA players palm the ball, its how some do such crazy direction change

People kept hyping up Playoff Jimmy. This guy's demeanor looks like he already lost the series...looks pretty cooked.

Randle was a great Lebron defender too. You gotta question how Towns would do in the same situation

I've come to terms it's simply Wolves and Knicks needed different things on the offensive side and that trade was wonderful for it. Wolves did the whole "let's trade offensive production of one guy for multiple dudes" but Randle has made up for it with the other pieces being a bonus.

No

Kuminga is averaging 19 on 60 percent shooting

And that proves…?

because he's shown it many times, including times this post season.

GSW is just an old team that couldn't afford a Curry injury

Kerr is mental. Looney was one of the best GSW players in the first half and he gets two minutes to play in the second. Team down by 20+, Looney has positive +-

lol Podz shooting 15% on threes in the series and he gets 40 mins every game

GSW have no shot blockers, keep driving to the hoop Wolves

Yikes, this is getting sloppy

This series is hard to keep interest in without Steph out there

Naz reid is a horrible passer. This dude has had two bonheaded unforced turnovers.

Naz Reid, what the heck kind of pass was that? Pull your head out of your arse.

It was also an on-ball ability that Minnesota sorely lacked in the Dallas series last year. Ant has help just getting into offense and creating now.

That he pretty much picked up currys production and the Warriors were still overmatched

Absolutely no way steph has zero rebounds and only 1 assist at this juncture.

With no Steph he is clearly the #1 option by default. The fact Hield and Podziemski are taking more shots than him is really telling. They don't win this unless he's scoring 30+. I see him just watching Hield trying to create and painfully turn it over while camped in the corner for a three...which we know he is not a three point shooter.

I came into the series thinking Golden State would have a coaching advantage, but Kerr has made some seriously head-scratching decisions since Curry went down. It's like he has no understanding of his personnel outside of Curry, Green and Butler.

Who wins Game 4?
